This invention has relation to cabinets or racks, and'has moreparticular reference to an improved cabinet or rack for the receptionand storage of umbrellas, overshoes, or the like, whereby drainage watertherefrom is collected while the articles are in the process of drying.

The invention aims for an object to provide an improved cabinet or rackfor conveniently housing and concealing from view, unsightly articles,such as umbrellas, overshoes, and the like, and receiving drain watertherefrom in order to prevent injury to polished floors, rugs, or otherfloor coverings, in addition to disposing such articles in a place wherethey may be readily had when needed.

Other objects reside in the structural details, the simplicity ofconstruction, the economy with which the cabinet may be produced, andthe general efliciency derived therefrom.

With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had tothe following specification and accompanying drawings in which there isexhibited one example or embodiment of the invention which is in no wayintended as a limitation upon the scope of the appended claims as it isto be clearly understood that variations and modifications whichproperly fall within the scope of said claims may be resorted to whenfound expedient.

In the drawin s Figure 1 is a ront face view of the cabinet;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view therethrough taken approximately onthe line- 22 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a top plan view thereof with the cover removed;

Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view therethrough takenapproximately on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the cabinet with the cover removed.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, 10 designates abody of substantially rectangular configuration, which is verticallysub-divided into a pair of com partments 11 and 12, by a verticalpartition 13 extending from the front Wall 14 to the rear wall 15 of thebody. The compartment 12 is provided with a lower llOl'lzontal partition16 spaced from the lower end of the cabinet and having perforations 1927Serial no. 182,465.

or drain openings 17. The compartment 12 is further provided with anupper horizon tal partition 18 spaced below the upper end of thecabinet, which partition is provided with a plurality of openings 19.The openings 19 have extending downwardly there from, depending sleeves20. The sleeves. 20 are adapted to have inserted therethrough,umbrellas, the lower ends of 'which are designed to rest upon theperforated or apertured lower partition 16, whereby drain watertherefrom Will drain through the perforations or apertures 17 thesleeves 20 serving to accommodate umbrellas of different lengths. Adrain receptacle 21 in the nature of a drawer is arranged directly underthe compartment 12 and beneath the lower partition 16, said receptaclebeing slidable through an opening 22 in the front wall 14 of the cabinetbody, the receptacle being slidable upon a bottom guide wall 23 withinthe cabinet body.

The compartment 11 designed for the reception of overshoes, is providedwith a plurality of superposed shelves or trays 24, which shelves ortrays are disposed and sup ported at a slight inclination-to thehorizontal and inclining toward the compartment 12. The uppermost shelfor tray, adjacent its lower end, is formed with a line of drainperforations 25, while the remaining'lower shelves or trays are formedwith a downturned marginal edge 26, which extends through slots 27 inthe partition wall 13 and terminates within the confines of thecompartment 12. The front wall 14 of the cabinet body is provided with adoorway 28 having a door-29, and through which doorway access is had tothe interior of the cabinet body for the placing of overshoes upon andthe removal of the same from the lower shelves or trays 24. Access tothe upper shelf for the placing of overshoes thereupon I or removal ofthe same therefrom, is gained drain water from the overshoes on theupper tray or shelf 24 will'drain through the line of apertures 25 ontothe next adjacent lower tray or shelf 24, while the drain water from theovershoes on said shelf together with the drain water received from theshelf or tray above, will drain through the slot 27 and thencedownwardly through the compartment 12 on to the perforated lowerpartition wall ,16 through the perforations or apertures 17 thereof intothe drain receptacle 21. The drain water from the overshoes on thelowermost shelf 24 will drain through the slot 27 and directly into thedrain receptacle 21. The drain receptacle, of course, is removable forthe purpose of emptying the drain water therefrom when necessaryalthough under ordinary circum stances it is thought that evaporationwill act sufliciently to dispose of the drain water.

What is claimed is:

1. An umbrella and overshoe cabinet, including a body having a verticalpartition sub-dividing the same into a pair of compartments respectivelyfor the reception of umbrellas and overshoes, the former compartmenthaving a drain receptacle at its lower end and means for supportingumbrellas thereabove for drainage into said receptacle, the lattercompartment having overshoe supporting sleeves inclined toward anddrainable through the said partition into the receptacle.

2. An umbrella and overshoe cabinet, including a body having a verticalpartition sub-dividing the same into a pair of compartments respectivelyfor the reception of umbrellas and overshoes, the former compartmenthaving a drain receptacle at its lower end, a lower perforated partitionabove the said drain receptacle, and an upper horizontal partitionhaving openings formed with depending sleeves adapted to receivetherethrough the umbrellas with the lower ends offs-aid umbrellasresting upon the apertured partition for drainage through said aperturedpartition into said drain receptacle, the latter compartment having aplurality of superposed overshoe supporting shelves inclined toward thevertical partition, the said vertical partition having slots throughwhich the lower'ends of the lowermost shelves extend for conveying drainwater into the umbrella compartment and thence downwardly through theperforated lower partition into the drain receptacle.

8. An umbrella and overshoe cabinet, including a body having a verticalpartition sub-dividing the same into a pair of compartments respectivelyfor the reception of umbrellas and overshoes, the former compartmenthaving a drain receptacle at its the said drain receptacle, and an upperhorizontal partition having openings formed .with depending sleevesadapted to receive therethrough the umbrellas with the lower ends ofsaid umbrellas resting upon the apertured. partition for drainagethrough said apertured partition into said drain receptacle, the lattercompartment having a plurality of superposed overshoe supporting shelvesinclined toward the vertical partition, thesaid vertical partition havinslots through which the lower ends of the owermost shelves extend forconveying drain water intothe umbrella compartment and thence downwardlythrough the perforated lower partition into the drain receptacle, theuppermost shelf having drain apertures adjacent its lower. endthroughwhich drain water from the overshoes supported on said shelf,drain on to the next adjacent lower shelf.
